Former Celtic defender Filip Benkovic has been released from his Cardiff loan and is now heading back to his parent club, Leicester.

The Croatian has not got the game time he expected and Leciester have been keen to get him proper first team football in order to get the best of the player.

Celtic are in the market for a centre-back and if the club are paying attention, it would be a no brainer to bring the player back for the second half of the season.

If the defender can stay fit, he would be a massive asset to the club during the second half of the season.

Anyone against re-signing former players because it’s a ‘backwards step’ only have to look at our centre back situation to realise Filip could do well again.

He’s still a young player with a point to prove and Brendan Rodgers knows he’ll get the game time at Celtic to prove himself.

Over to you Celtic.
